Multilingual Rohingya Publishing House
Rasa Books is a multilingual Rohingya publishing house that brings valuable stories and voices of silenced and marginalized writers and thinkers to inform the world about the ongoing annihilation of the Indigenous Rohingya and the military oppression of many others in Myanmar. We print groundbreaking titles in Rohingya, Burmese and English, promoting imagination, knowledge, social and environmental awareness, and respect for humanity and the planet.
Rasa, originally a Sanskrit term meaning “essence,” is ironically equivalent in Rohingya and Burmese. The concept of “Rasa” was widely popular in medieval poetry and literature in Arakan and is still phenomenal in Burmese literature.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to promoting, preserving and celebrating the rich “essence” of Rohingya literature, language, history and cultural identity, while asserting the fundamental rights, citizenship and legitimacy of the Indigenous Rohingya in Myanmar. We aim to encourage the production and presentation of literary arts – fiction, poetry, history, biography, cultural and children education books – that reflect Rohingya and Burmese experiences, cultural values, traditions and histories.
